>Customers simply don't care. I don't recall a single complain about RAM or disk usage of my Electron-based app to be reported in the past 10 years.
I see complains about RAM and slugginess against Slack and countless others Electron apps every fucking day, same as with Adobe forcing web rendered UI parts in Photoshop, and other such cases. Forums are full of them, colleagues always complain about it.
Of course they complain about them, but those are the users, not the purchasers.
How are Adobe and Slack/Salesforce doing?
Are they hurting for customers?
the people that USE the software the most are not the people BUYING the software. it’s why all enterprise software has trash UX.
do you think i as a software engineer like using Jira? Outlook? etc? Heck even the trendy stuff is broken. Anthropic took took 6 months to fix a flickering claude code. -_-
Yes that was my point.
McDonald’s isn’t hurting for customers either. Doesn’t mean their food is anything a chef ought to aspire to.
I'm loving it
McDonald's is renown for speed of service, a bit ironic to compare that to slow apps

Neither it means that McDonald's should aspire to be a chef
